blutach Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 One thing I think amazing is that many Americans feel their way has to be the correct way. The language you are supposed to be using is called English. It originated in ... yes ... England!!!! (Hard to believe, isn't it?). And therefore, the way the Brits spell things is the correct way - not the bastardised (yes, it has an "s" in it) version, you yanks work with. For future spell checks, please use this site and not Websters or whatever. Oh! - should you be so inclined, there is a translations feature. You can "translate" most of the strings into American if you like. See the translators topic in the Support sub-forum. Regards

You made no mistake, so no need to blush. My post was meant to be a throwaway sort of witty response and if it appeared to be anti American etc that's not how I envisaged it when I typed it.
spinningwheel Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 I am not getting involved in this one because I don't give a shit how it's spelled, who invented it, what you meant by it and who translated it.....
greyowl Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 There is a lot of touchiness on this forum. I'm Canadian--we try to get along with each other. (I was once American, but got most of it out of my system)
